Or fireworks. Many states have laws against selling fireworks to state residents, but all you need to do is cross a border or have an out of state license and you can buy them just fine.

Porn has been around since cave paintings.

Well, they are in fact breaking the law. Doesn't matter what we think about that law, they're in clear violation. Cannot imagine why they didn't geofence like PornHub did. Hell, I did blocked entire countries at my last job with a simple pfSense router. This ain't rocket science. Guess their greed got 'em?

Also, can anyone explain why a foreign operator would give two fucks? Remember The Pirate Bay's great responses?

Chronic master debator says what?

I get where you're coming from, upvote for contributing an opinion. But I think you're overestimating the impact of this legislation. This is not ever going to stop internet porn consumption, that boat sailed 30-years ago.

Also, social media is fucking us (heh) worse than porn ever did, not even comparable.

This isn't social media as most understand it. My wife sometimes gets bent as to what she sees me writing, doesn't understand that you and I neither know one another nor care to.

Because they're serving users in Florida, so they must abide by laws relating to servicing customers there.

Uhhh what kind of freaky shit are you watching for that to be the image you have of porn?

You don't care to know me?

Rude....

Easier to target the few dozen major sources than the millions of users for now. But I agree wholeheartedly with the premise. They're not setting up a shop in Florida. They're in entirely different places around the world and Floridians are virtually knocking on their door and taking their digital packages with them back to Florida. Why would the onus be on the server to police the laws local to each client?

I’d argue it’s on the state to figure that out (for better or worse). My site is on a globally connected network, if you don’t want your citizens doing something, you figure it out. It’s not my job.

Meanwhile Nascar literally has races sponsored by BlueChew and every other fucking ad during a race is for bent dick disease, all on easily accessed channels.

Let me guess you're just watching all the "tame" step mom videos? I heard those ones are healthier than the step dad videos.
Coom on... it's good for you and your pp. Definitely won't get addicted and want harder stuff down the line.
Enjoy

Why should any website operator be held responsible for complying with every stupid law in every podunk shithole jurisdiction everywhere in the world? By this logic, every site should comply with whatever unhinged BS North Korea and Saudi Arabia insist upon, too -- is that what you want?

If Florida doesn't like these websites that are not hosted in Florida, that's Florida's problem, not the website operators', and Florida can do its own damn geofencing itself.

Lmao I had to look up what that term even means and saw that it comes from 4chan, which just goes perfect with my impression of you from the rest of what you said earlier. You obviously don't realize how much you're giving away about yourself here with your language. You might as well have started this off by telling us you're talking about "your friend."

Hmm let's see, a dude who hangs out at a site that's world renowned for being the home of the sad, lonely, self-hating individual who's here to give us his hot takes about "this generation" and all "their" preversions. Please regale us with more tales about the deepest thoughts and actions of people who are complete strangers to you. What kind of sick and twisted stuff are "they" watching right now?

It was planted by evil sick democrats

I agree with every single thing you stated. But the article is about these sites breaking Florida law, and they are. Never said anything about this was sane, but again, if I operated a porn site, I'd fence Florida off as a CYA measure.

But the article is about these sites breaking Florida law, and they are.

No, that's not true. You cannot break a law when the government in question has no jurisdiction over you. The sites are not breaking Florida law because they are not subject to Florida law in the first place.

People are downvoting you because you're telling them that the law isn't fair, sucks my friend.

I do wonder if Xvideos or some of these other companies that are primarily international have any infrastructure in the US/Florida that could be affected by a ruling of some sort. I feel like there might be something there depending on how they're taking payment for services like Xvideos Red.

More like you see a request coming in from FL and you send them there
